Rony,
 
This rocks!  I wonder if it may be worthwhile publishing this code (and the other sample)
on the BSF site ??

Why not use one of the samples coming with BSF(4Rexx) demonstrating what
you are looking for ?

After compiling the following Java-program ("javac ScriptedUI.java"),
you can invoke it by supplying the filename containing the script (which
could be in any of the BSF supported script engines, inferred from the
filetype), e.g.:

java ScriptedUI ui.js
java ScriptedUI ui.rex


----------------- cut here (ScriptedUI.java) -----------------
/* This example shows how a Java app can allow a script to customize
   a UI */

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;

import org.apache.bsf.*;
import org.apache.bsf.util.*;

public class ScriptedUI {
  BSFManager mgr = new BSFManager ();

  public ScriptedUI (String fileName) {
    Frame f = new Frame ("Application's Main Frame");
    f.addWindowListener (new WindowAdapter () {
      public void windowClosing (WindowEvent e) {
        System.exit (0);
      }
    });

    Panel p = new Panel ();
    f.add ("Center", p);
    f.add ("North", new Button ("North Button"));
    f.add ("South", new Button ("South Button"));

    mgr.registerBean ("centerPanel", p);  // register panel (will be looked up by script)

    // exec script engine code to do its thing for this
    try {
      String language = BSFManager.getLangFromFilename (fileName);
      FileReader in = new FileReader (fileName);
      String script = IOUtils.getStringFromReader (in);

      mgr.exec (language, fileName, -1, -1, script);
    } catch (BSFException e) {
      System.err.println ("Ouch: " + e.getMessage ());
      e.printStackTrace ();
    } catch (IOException e) {
      System.err.println ("Ouch: " + e.getMessage ());
      e.printStackTrace ();
    }

    // now pack and show the frame
    f.pack ();
    f.show ();
  }

  public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
    if (args.length != 1) {
      System.err.println ("Usage: java ScriptedUI filename");
      System.err.println ("       where filename is the name of the script");
      System.exit (1);
    }
    new ScriptedUI (args[0]);
  }
}

This is the JavaScript version:

----------------- cut here (ui.js) -----------------
/* pick up the center panel bean */
p = bsf.lookupBean ("centerPanel");       /* get Panel object from the BSFRegistry */

/* set the layout manager to border */
p.setLayout (new java.awt.BorderLayout ());

/* add a few things */
p.add ("Center", new java.awt.Label ("Middle from JavaScript"));
p.add ("North", new java.awt.TextField ("north text from JavaScript"));
p.add ("South", new java.awt.TextField ("south text from JavaScript"));
p.add ("East", new java.awt.Button ("inner east from JavaScript"));
p.add ("West", new java.awt.Button ("inner west from JavaScript"));

/* configure p a bit */
p.setBackground (java.awt.Color.red);

/* configure the frame that p is in */
f = p.getParent ();
f.setTitle ("Hello from JavaScript (title reset from JavaScript)");
----------------- cut here -----------------


This is the ooRexx-version:

----------------- cut here (ui.rex) -----------------
p = .bsf~bsf.lookupBean("centerPanel")  -- reference the entry in BSF registry, put there
by
                                        -- the Java program "ScriptedUI.class"

/* set the layout manager to border */
p~setLayout(.bsf~new("java.awt.BorderLayout"))

/* add a few things */
p~add("Center", .bsf~new("java.awt.Label",     "Middle from Object Rexx"))
p~add("North",  .bsf~new("java.awt.TextField", "North text from Object Rexx"))
p~add("South",  .bsf~new("java.awt.TextField", "South text from Object Rexx"))
p~add("East",   .bsf~new("java.awt.Button",    "Inner east text from Object Rexx"))
p~add("West",   .bsf~new("java.awt.Button",    "Inner west text from Object Rexx"))

/* configure p a bit */
p~setBackground(.bsf~bsf.getStaticValue("java.awt.Color", "green"))

/* configure the frame that p is in */
f=p~getParent
f~setTitle("Hello from Object REXX (title reset from Object Rexx)")

::requires BSF.CLS    -- get Object Rexx wrapper support for BSF
